I have seen the answer here, and every time I see it elsewhere, I forget
what was posted here. As I recall, the fix was to switch printers and switch
back, but I don't remember the cause or if there's been or there's expected
to be a fix for this issue. I've seen it twice today and can't answer
because I simply cannot find the answer that I thought Suzanne posted about
it, and I've searched and searched. Anybody remember? Suzanne? (Keeping
fingers crossed.) And just to remind me...

and...dang. Can't find the other one right now.

According to contributor Bob Buckland: "It's a bug that somehow seems to
have Word misreading temporary files related to the printer currently in
use. You can usually 'unscramble' the display from File=Print and switch
to the printer properties or to another printer then your normal one, or
close Word and delete all files found on Start=Search and looking for
~$*.*;*.tmp as the name string then restarting Word." See also
